Love you always,

In memory of my amazing Mum and Grandma will always live on in our hearts ❤️ love you forever xxxx Sue, Si & family xxx

We had the most amazing mum and dad who taught us how to live well and how to love. It has been hard learning to live without them them but we carry them in our hearts and they walk alongside us still.

With love and gratitude to mum and dad and to all who care and support those at the end of their lives; Pam, Phil and Gill xx

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

We will remember our nanna because she helped Joe build his lego carousel last Christmas, because she made Evie two aprons, and the one with castles on it is her favourite, and for all the pennies she gave Joe and Evie every year for the advent calendars she made for them. We will so miss our Nanna this Christmas but we will love you forever. Joe and Evie xxxx

So many memories of more than 60 Christmases together Sadly missed

Another Christmas without you both, it doesn’t get any easier, I wish that we could all be together again one last time. Miss you xx

Born an angel

Ronald and Eugenie, my dad and mum, forever in all our hearts, and missed dearly. Such loving parents always fun to be with,

Derek , Abigail's Grandad taken this year, she loved to visit him in the home and read him stories and make him laugh. Such a lovely person

Remembering my lovely Mum (aka Nanny Harry) who always made Christmas so special and fondly remembering our happy times together. Forever in our hearts. X

You may not be with me in person but your presence in my heart and mind has not dimmed with the passage of time. The excitement of Christmas has never been the same since we lost you.

To Kevin,

I’ve never met you, but want to say how wonderful your daughter is. There were times I didn’t think I would make it through the year, but she has saved me in more ways than she’ll ever know and I will be forever grateful.

You should be sooooo proud of her and I know she misses you so much.

Hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you and tell you how wonderful she is, how she has turned in to a beautifully funny and kind person, always thinking about others.

James

Sadly missed and fondly remembered by all of her loved ones.

Remembering my Dad on my first Christmas without him.

A lovely girl with the kindest heart and a beautiful smile.
Everyone loved her. She lit up a room.

I love you, Dad. – From Pearl

Merry Christmas to the brightest star in the sky, our Mum. We all miss you everyday. Sending you lots of love always xxx

the stars that shine on Christmas night.
